Embarcadero's Top Tips For Keeping Applications Modern

In one of our recent articles on Grey Matter's developer blog Code Matters, I take a look at the tips from Embarcadero that will help developers with ensuring that their applications are modern and relevant.

Read the blog post in full to find out about market trends and techniques developers should consider when planning to modernise their applications.

"Many powerful applications have been created using legacy developer tools and language releases, so it can make some developers question why they would need to modernise. However, technology is changing so rapidly nowadays that these legacy applications may get left behind as they won’t meet the modern expectations that users crave. 

Although, it can be hard to keep up with the latest technology if developers don’t have the budget, knowledge or resource to do so. 

To stay relevant and ahead, developers need to plan an application roadmap, taking into consideration hardware, platform and usage opportunities.  

It’s important that users are able to continue to use the applications, and are happy with the functionality and features, as well as the look and feel. Otherwise, they may go looking somewhere else. Keep users happy and loyalty is key. 

The applications don’t just need to be user friendly, but also easy for the developer to maintain. Cleaning up unused and inefficient code may help with this."


We are also running a free hands-on C++ workshop with expert David Millington on 19 July at the Embarcadero EMEA head office. This event will help legacy users to modernise their applications. You can register for the event here.
